Like the chilling psychological thriller The Silent Patient, Deborah Goodrich Royce’s Ruby Falls is a nail-biting tale of a fragile young actress, the new husband she barely knows, and her growing suspicion that the secrets he harbors may eclipse her own.

On a brilliantly sunny July day, six-year-old Ruby is abandoned by her father in the suffocating dark of a Tennessee cave. Twenty years later, transformed into soap-opera star Eleanor Russell, she is fired under dubious circumstances. Fleeing to Europe, she marries a glamorous stranger named Orlando Montague and keeps her past closely hidden.

Together, Eleanor and Orlando start afresh in LA. Setting up house in a storybook cottage in the Hollywood Hills, Eleanor is cast in a dream role - the lead in a remake of Rebecca. As she immerses herself in that eerie Gothic tale, Orlando’s personality changes, ghosts of her past reemerge, and Eleanor fears she is not the only person in her marriage with a secret.

In this thrilling and twisty homage to Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, the story ricochets through the streets of Los Angeles, a dangerous marriage to an exotic stranger, and the mind of a young woman whose past may not release her.

You go into the head of the main character and all her dysfunction. It was very captivating since she was an unreliable narrator and you couldn’t distinguish her reality vs. her imaginary life. She’s a soap opera actress in Hollywood, which is described poetically from Eleanor’s POV. It’s a sad story but for the most part I felt the character’s emotional rollercoaster; her internal anguish over her lost father. It was quite the ride with lots of ups and downs. I must say that Stephanie Willis was especially good as the voice of our unhinged narrator so I really enjoyed it.

It went on and on. First half of recording was ok. I’m not sure why I stuck with it. Hours wasted.

Convoluted and boring

Started out interesting but became either a ghost story or just a story about a very disturbed person. I stuck with it but would not recommend it.

Too weird

Absolutely horrible writing . Completely ridiculous . What a waste of time and money . The only reason I finished this book was for a book club. The person who picked it is in big trouble .
